Simplicity Sandwiches & Coffee — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

1st visit was take-away: both their croissant and chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat) are very good, with a texture and a taste similar to the quality ones in France, however with less butter. Country sourdough is thinly sliced which creates a nice crunchiness after toasting. Only the baguette is not a recommended product, as a little dry and not having the expected crust. Price is very affordable for the level of quality (croissant RM5 and chocolate croissant at RM6.5).

2nd visit is dine-in: lunch set price at RM20 is also very affordable with the Sourdough ribeye steak and Americano. This sandwich contains mayonnaise, traditional French mustard with seeds (not the strong one), fresh tomatoes, pickles and tasty ribeye strips. Coffee is good also. For the indoor seating, the space is partly shared with the bakery workshop. The outdoor space is limited to 2 camping seats (as per last photo).

The place is less than 15 minutes walk from station Maluri. Easier accessible from the LRT exit than MRT exit, as doesn’t have to cross busy street to be on the correct side.

The baguette is thin, crisp, and golden brown with a slight sheen and shatters slightly when bitten. The double tuna sourdough is airy with irregular holes, showing strong fermentation and hydration control. It is slightly chewy but not dense. The croissant which is buttery with a hint of sweetness really sets it apart. Overall, the quality...

Best bread and pastry I've had outside of Europe ⭐ I'm French and have lived in Australia and travelled extensively for the past 10years. I have tried so many bakeries and pastry shops... Simplicity makes the best baguette I have had outside of Europe, amazing quality. We tried the beef sourdough sandwich, financiers, bread butter pudding, chocolate croissant, everything was phenomenal, especially when you eat in and they heat it up for you. Coffee was good too. The people there are so nice and hard-working.

Made my day the first time we went, after that we went back 3 times in 2 weeks and got many baguettes to have at home.

If I ever go back to KL, I'll stay in the same are just so I...
